Chapter 373 - Arrival at Granmr State
Chapter 373 - Arrival at Granmr State
In the oldest empire in the world, Condifan Empire.
A pillar of light shot down the palace at the capital. The light came from the sky as countless people witness this scene.
It was shocking as the whole ground was trembling heavily and heavy mana slowly spread in the surrounding area.
"Oh my god! What is that thing?!"
"W-What's happening?!"
"Shit! What's happening to this place?!"
"N-No!!"
"Help!!"
"The hell is that thing!!"
Voices of the citizens of the country echoed in the whole area. The earthquake was so powerful that it destroyed several tall structures in the capital.
After a few moments, the pillar of light disappeared. What appeared before them was a man with a two and a half meter height. The man was wearing light red armor. His skin tone was gray and the texture of his skin was rough. It felt like there were tiny bumps.
Above him was a gigantic metal object that has a length of 500 meters and a width of 200 meters. It was a ship. A technology that this world hasn't seen before.
"The energy level in the atmosphere is higher than an ordinary world... This is an amazing world..."
The man said while looking at his surrounding with an amazed expression. He couldn't believe that the energy level of this world was higher than his homeworld. It was stunning to see a treasure like this one.
Ohm!
Flesh like things seeped out his armor and it wriggled around the surface of the armor. After a few seconds, the armor entirely changed its appearance.
The armor in his face closed as spikes slowly protruded from the helmet upto his back.
"I'm detecting several powerful people..."
He muttered as the armor in his hand turned into a sharp blade.
The Knights and Master-class Knights of the Condifan Empire surrounded the unknown man who just appeared with the strange floating object in the sky.
"Just what is this man...?!"
"The aura he possessed is something I haven't seen in my entire life..."
"Yeah, we should work together..."
The man looked at them and smiled, "Okay, let's go and destroy this place."
As soon as he said those words, the ship in the sky opened its doors or gates. Various humanoid figures poured out of it and landed on the ground. It was his subordinates.
"It's a good present to our master..." He said as he charged towards his opponent.
Five Master-class Knights quickly moved their body as fast as possible. They have different roles in the battle, just like a party some were tankers and some were damage dealers while the others were supports.
The ordinary Knights turned around and faced the subordinates of the man. They knew that they couldn't help the Master-class Knights in their battle.
Just like that, one of the oldest nations, the Condifan Empire faced the crisis of invasion from another realm. Once again this world would experience war after a long time of bathing in peace.
Souta and the rest arrived at the capital of the Gyunar Republic, Granmr State, after a few days of traveling. Of course, Souta and Alice didn't stop training in these few days. Wherever they will get a chance, the two would train to increase their strength in Saya's inner consciousness.
They left the living labyrinth there as Souta decided to clear it when he had enough power. He knew that his power level wasn't enough to clear a thousand years old living labyrinth which produced countless monsters. He will remember this world, Isabella's homeworld.
Granmr State was a huge city like Buckshawn State. The only difference was that a lot of nobles and the country's upper echelons were living here. While most of the people that were living in Buckshawn State were mercenaries.
This city was guarded by countless people wearing full plate armors. They were the soldiers and the military force of this city.
The group entered the city and they were quite surprised when they saw a group of people wearing luxurious clothes welcoming them.
The Knight Level powerhouses bowed respectfully to Alice along with the people who looked like some high-ranking officials of this country.
'Oh? The news about Alice traveled in this city easily...' Souta was quite surprised as he observed the group.
He guessed that they have some sort of communication device. If not how could these people know about Alice being a Master-class Knight?
Isabella and Gyun's party were speechless at this sight. They didn't think that high-ranking officials of the Gyunar Republic would welcome them. But considering Alice's status they could understand it.
Souta smiled as he decided to act. He stepped forward and replied to them in Alice's stead. "Yes, we will go with you."
Alice tilted her head when she heard him. She thought that they wouldn't follow these annoying people.
"Oh? Thanks... Then, please follow us. We've already prepared a luxury room for the rest of you." One of the officials said with a smile.
Souta glanced at Alice and smiled. The group then followed the officials and headed towards the palace at the center of the city.
Of course, this little event gathered the attention of the people. They didn't know why those officials of the country were out here talking to someone politely.
"I think the person who's following us wouldn't dare to go to the palace," Souta said to Alice in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Hmm... I see... But I think that person would still follow us." Alice replied to him.
After the group left the Buckshawn State, they noticed that someone was following them and watching their movements. They didn't bother themselves as that power didn't have any hostility against any of them. They thought that the person who was following them would give up soon but that person was consistent.
"Also, it's better if we make contact with the officials of this country. That way, we could gather information easily with their help." Souta said to her.
"If you say so..." Alice nodded at him.
The group arrived at the palace and the officials led them to one of the largest rooms in this place. It was a guest room but it was also beautiful. The design of the room was exquisite.
After that, the officials left them and Souta guessed that they were going to report back to the leader of this country.
"Wow, it's beautiful! It's my first time entering a room like this one!" Mae said while looking around.
"Me too..." Rini nodded at her words.
"A room in the palace is really something else," Gyun said with a laugh.
The rest of the Gyun's party looked around with Isabella.
"Sooner or later, a lot of people will visit us to see the great Master-class Knight..." Souta said as he glanced at Alice. He then added, "Just do your best to interact with them."
"Oh? I thought you're the one who's going to talk. If I know this I wouldn't even come here." Alice said with a sigh. She really didn't like talking to people that she didn't know.
"It's fine. It's fine. I will back you up." Souta said to her as he closed his eyes and activated the [Pet Resonance] skill.
He saw that Yuko was inside a place where the guards kept the monster guard of the palace. It seems that there's a tamer here for them to have a place like this one which was full of tamed monsters.
The tamed monster felt that Yuko was stronger than them so they became docile. They were just non-evolve monsters and they will place a third evolution beside them.
If only they knew the difference they wouldn't do it.
"Isabella... Do you want to brew some potions? We can ask the people here. I'm sure that the palace has a place where you can brew potions. Also, we can ask them for some ingredients." Souta opened his eyes and said as he looked at Isabella who was looking around with bright eyes.
"Ah... Um... I..." Isabella was surprised when he called her. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to brew some potions but asking it from the people in the palace...
"Okay, I will tell them about it." Souta didn't wait for her response as he said.
